Paper Clutter

[cjsmith]

Counting the deep drawers in desks, I have nineteen file drawers in one room of my house. Ten of them currently hold my filed paper. (Well, okay, nine and a half. I just spent an hour throwing away stuff.)

Whether I go paperless or not, the first step is to throw out about six drawers' worth of files I don't need. For example, I have my pay stubs back to the beginning of my current job. Do I really need all my pay stubs for all my PREVIOUS jobs? Do not doubt for a minute that I have them, every one.

True, it's wise to keep information about any "issues" with credit, but that's an exception. And of course CJ wouldn't have too many credit accounts...

I apparently have had quite a few accounts. My credit report stuns me. It has thud factor!

Fortunately, it's fairly clean. *phew*
